Book Description
This book makes a distinctive and innovative contribution to the study of white-collar and corporate crime through detailed examination of the use, affect, and violation of the corporate social license – a concept frequently extended to a license to operate. Whilst discrete aspects of corporate social responsibility have found their way into the discourse on business deviance and crime, no single book to date has provided a detailed exploration of social licence through a criminological lens. Here, using an interdisciplinary focus which includes illustrative case-studies and large-scale original fieldwork, Gottschalk and Hamerton explore European, North American, Asian, and global perspectives to identify, position, and reveal the impact of the social license on contemporary conceptions of white-collar and corporate deviance and crime. Corporate Social License: A Study in Legitimacy, Conformance, and Corruption will be of interest to scholars of criminology, law, business management, and sociology along with professionals within allied fields.

Corporate Conformance in Practice
Author: Petter Gottschalk
Publisher: Ethics International Press
ISBN: 1804417416
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
In recent years, conformance rather than compliance has gained attention in executive suites. While compliance with laws, regulations, statutes, and other formal legal frameworks for corporate activity have been on the agenda for several decades, conformance with norms, values, ethics, and guidelines expected by stakeholders and others in society is recently reaching the top of executive agendas. An important reason in this shift of attention from compliance to conformance is the speed as well as severity of damage and harm from breaches and violations of the social license to operate, as compared to violations of the legal license to operate. While a legal process in the criminal justice system at corporate wrongdoing tends to last for years before a final outcome is reached, a social process about corporate misconduct tends to have serious consequences a few days after disclosure, exposure, and condemnation. An example is boycotts of companies, quickly mobilized in social and traditional media, as a reaction to corporate misconduct. Several measures can be taken to restore corporate conformance. One of them is termination of top executives by making them scapegoats of scandal. Executive dismissal is frequently deployed as a crisis management tactic.

Corporate Control of White-Collar Crime
Author: Petter Gottschalk
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311098668X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Traditionally, corporate control is all about top-down approaches to management of employees. Executives attempt to influence employees toward achieving business goals, and they attempt to prevent and detect wrongdoing, misconduct, and crime among employees. However, top-down approaches to corporate control do not work when executives and other privileged individuals in the business themselves commit and conceal their wrongdoing, misconduct, and crime in organizational settings. Then there is a need for a bottom-up approach in corporate control as outlined in this book. Bottom-up control refers to the manner in which organizational members can use different types of control mechanisms – such as whistleblowing, transparency, resource access, or culture – to monitor, measure, and evaluate executives’ avoidance of deviant behaviors and influence them toward achieving the organization’s goals in efficient and effective ways. The newly emerging perspective of a social license to operate forms part of the bottom-up strategy where criminalization becomes social property independent of the criminal justice system. The social license is predominantly centered on social permission for business activity where the media, social movements, and citizen watchdogs exert pressure, demand change, and bring top management to account. This book presents a novel approach to corporate control of white-collar crime based on the theory of convenience. White-collar crime is financial crime committed by privileged individuals who have legitimate access to resources based on the power and trust inherent through their professional positions. Convenience theory proposes that motive, opportunity, and willingness are the three dimensions that underlie white-collar crime in an organizational context. This book contributes to the study of white-collar criminality through a blend of theoretical discussions and practical materials that illuminate and support the use of convenience theory. The book discusses how bottom-up approaches can overcome the difficulty of detecting white-collar crime and overcome the barriers of preventing executive deviance.

Trust the Brand - Corporate Reputation Management in Private Banking
Author: Verena A. Knipp
Publisher: Diplomica Verlag
ISBN: 3836680580
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Reputation is the sum of individual perceptions, experiences and beliefs in the mind of a company's stakeholder. Therefore, synchronous stakeholder communication and interaction has to respect the needs of all parties involved. Reputation management is the total of concepts, processes and structures that are directed towards the effective management of reputation within a company. It covers all activities to establish, preserve, improve and defend reputation systematically. Private banking is a highly sensitive and trust requiring business. A strong bank brand and a healthy reputation are its key success factors. Private banks concentrate on prosperous clientele; therefore, they know that the loss of the good name is one of the major business risks. Although the significant role of reputation in private banking is commonly clear, a systematic management of corporate reputation is rarely. This book investigates the current status of reputation management in private banking and identifies reputation drivers. Consequently, a survey on German private banks is being conducted. Based upon the findings, a structure for corporate reputation management under aspects of good corporate governance will be derived. Regarding corporate reputation management as a consulting product, opportunities for the consulting industry are presented in conclusion.

Corruption from a Regulatory Perspective
Author: Maria De Benedetto
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509929231
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book seeks to enrich and, in some cases, reverse current ideas on corruption and its prevention. It is a long held belief that sanctions are the best guard against corrupt practise. This innovative work argues that in some cases sanctions paradoxically increase corruption and that controls provide opportunities for corrupt transactions. Instead it suggests that better regulation and responsive enforcement, not sanctions, offer the most effective response to corruption. Taking both a theoretical and applied approach, it examines the question from a global perspective, drawing on in particular a regulatory perspective, to provide a model for tackling corrupt practises.
